The potential for serious complications is still unknown regarding who may be more likely to experience them.
Many doctors recommend a two-week exercise break before your activity resumption. Guidelines for athletes with COVID-19 who were asymptomatic should take a strict break of two weeks. The people cardiac abnormalities should undergo troponin tests and imaging tests like cardiac ultrasounds. Athletes who were hospitalized also, if they had cardiac issues they are recommended to stop training for at least 3-6 months.
How Do I Know It Isn’t The Right Time For Me?
According to the doctors, many people are at risk of developing a post-viral syndrome after COVID-19. That can leave them feeling fatigued for a few weeks and that, of course, can make physical activity difficult.
